Hap Happy

The Hap was finished before the end of the Tour but I hated it. It looked like Clown Barf and Unicorn Barf had a baby. All the colors made it fun to knit but I knew I would never wear anything so ugly.

So....I dipped it. I stuck it in the dyeing crockpot overnight with some black dye.

In the morning it was splotchy gray. Uh, oh...so I soaked it again with a wee bit more dye and this time it came out black. It exhausted all the dye and it's plenty black so I'm happy.

I've always wanted a black shawl but there is no way I can see well enough to knit one anymore. Now I have one and it was pretty painless. I might have to do this again. I've always wanted a black sweater.
